Introduktion af et nyt begreb i Excel - mærkater?

[Jørgen Koch]

Jeg kan se, at mærkater og elementmærkater er indført flere steder, så ...

Hej @Jørgen Koch 

Mange tak for din feedback. Vi har nu kigget lidt nærmere på problemet og må desværre konstatere, at vi ikke ændrer det på nuværende tidspunkt.

Oversættelsen af "label" har været drøftet meget i tidens løb og senest med en af de danske Microsoft-medarbejdere. Den tidligere oversættelse "navn" var ikke rigtigt dækkende for konceptet med at klassificere indhold med en "label", og det blev derfor besluttet at ændre det til "mærkat".

Jeg har også kigget lidt mere på "etiket" og "mærkat", og da de to termer bruges synonymt, er det ikke rigtigt værdiskabende at ændre oversættelsen.

Men endnu en gang tak for dit input; det sætter vi stor pris på, og du er som altid velkommen til at vende tilbage med yderligere kommentarer.

Venlig hilsen

Marie

Hi @Marie_Koss_Lundoe and @Stafford Quaid 

I have to disagree on this but it is of course not my decision.

I would anytime prefer etiket over mærkat since labels in Excel the last 10-15 years has been translated to etiketter and now it is only changed in 50 percent of the user interface.

Earlier on the Data Label was translated to Datanavne and this was later on corrected to Dataetiketter—and now just corrected again to Datamærkater *Confusing and not necessary/no value added*

I have already had a lot of questions about this in my training courses.

In Power BI Desktop, Data Labels is still translated to Datanavne, which I have reported in the Cloud and AI International space.

There is no value added in the new translation *IMHO*

Jørgen

Hi @Jørgen Koch 

I agree that all these changes are quite confusing. And I also agree that perhaps it would have been better to have kept using the translation "etiketter" and not introducing the translation "names". However, this is before my time, so unfortunately I don't know the argumentation for change at that time... However, now "mærkat" has been preferred by a Danish MS employee, so I hope that all occurrences of "etiketter" will be eliminated over time!

I think that this is definitely worth looking into, as it seems there are still some inconsistencies present. @Stafford Quaid, please take a look at the provided screenshots. I think we need to revisit this in order to fix all inconsistencies.

Best,

Marie

Hi @Jørgen Koch 

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. The inconsistency is certainly not ideal. We need to talk to the relevant teams to see what the risks are involved in making it consistent. Please leave it with us. We will come back to you on it.

Thanks, @Stafford Quaid 

According to https://ordnet.dk/ddo/ordbog?query=m%C3%A6rkat, a "mærkat" is a small sticker or paper and this is not the case here.

A label in Excel describes the data in ie. the first column in a pivot table or the data in a chart. It is not relevant to use when talking about data.

If you google (or Bing) "datamærkat" or "mærkat", only references to stickers show up.

Jørgen

We hear you @Jørgen Koch . We will come back to you on it once we have investigated it more.
